#### Video transcript

Once it's enabled in your account, you'll see it on the left-hand sidebar under Using Profiles, so you'll just see the Flows tab. Clicking on that will take you to a list of flows. Obviously, in this demo account, we have a couple of flows already set up that we can walk you through, but most folks will come in with a blank canvas, and you'll hit Create New to create your own flow. For this demonstration, I think what we'll do is we'll walk through an existing flow, kind of end-to-end, show how it works, show it actually working, how it can generate some emails as this one-off example, show what it's doing to the profile, and kind of do the end-to-end experience, and then we'll double back and walk through all of the individual mechanics and configuration options, sort of start to finish, that flows can do. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you next time.
